Question

photon strikes the surface of tungsten and an electron is emitted. what is the maximum possible speed of the electron?

Answer 1

Answer: The maximum possible speed v is √2(  hν - Ф  ) / m

Explanation: You could be referring to the provided explanation, despite the fact that the question isn't comprehensive. When a photon collides with the surface of any metal, it transmits all of its energy to the electron in the atom. The collision causes the electron to travel with a certain amount of kinetic energy. This is referred to as the photoelectric effect. The maximum kinetic energy is calculated using Einstein's equation for the photoelectric effect:

K.E. = hν - Ф

½ mv² = hν - Ф

Hence the maximum possible speed is:

v = √2(  hν - Ф  ) / m
